WASHINGTON, December 14th. Special
Indian Inspector Armstrong, who has been
on leave since his return from the Crow
Agency, left to-day for Indian Territory
under hurried orders from the Secretary of
the Interior. Bushyhead, the head of the
National party in the Cherokee Nation, has

Owen, of Union Agency, also telegraphs
that there is urgent need for interference on
the part of the Government, if peace is to

Armstrong; orders are to investigate
fully the state of affairs, and report whether
things have reached such an extremity as
to demand interference of the Government
under the clause of the treaty with the
Cherokee Nation in which the Government
guarantees protection from outside enemies
and freedom from domestic discord. The
War Department has also been requested
to have troops in readiness to push forward
into the Cherokee Nation, in case the In.

From all information to be gathered here

Hewitt, of the Southern Pacific, on board
few minutes later all work on the grad
ing of the branch road was stopped The
car and party then went to Sycamore,
where the road was originally to start from,
and it was reported that the road would be
run from there. The cause of the change
was the Supervisors granting the right OF
way on county road for eight miles, pro-
vided that four miles of the same should
be plowed one foot on the inside and two
feet on the outside of the rails, and graded
up even. This the railroad company de-
clined to do, and would have left, but the
Supervisors agreed to rescind the require
ment making it read to grade up to the
level of the rails and plank all street and

WASHINGTON, December 14th. - The
House Elections Committee will meet to-
morrow to organize, and the first report to
be made will be, it is expected, on the case
of Thoebe VS.. Carlisle. The fact that the
Speaker requested the House to name the
Elections Committee, relieving him of all
responsibility in the matter, is the best
reason why all doubt as to the clearness of
his title to the seat should be reviewed at
the earliest possible moment. The pro-
ceedings before the Elections Committee
will likely be conducted as in court, a
day being fixed for the parties to appear,
and certain time allotted them for argu-
ment, and the briefs and other papers in
the case being put into the hands of each
committeeman and of the parties interest
ed. The whole matter will be settled in a
judicial way.
Representatives FELTON, and Vaudever
are perfectly satisfied with the composition
OF the Committee on Elections, as are also
Messrs. Sullivan and Lynch, their contest
ants. 1t is expected that all the contested
election cases will be disposed of at this
session

A CALL FOR CASH-US."
The knights of Labor Said to be Getting
Very Hard-Up.

New YORK, December 14th.-The Times
Philadelphia special says: In the present
desperate strait of the Executive Board
of the Knights of Labor the only sign of
energy is in the collection of funds to re-
plenish the narrowing treasury from which
salaries, expenses and the extras for ruling
the ring are drawn.
The vast falling off in membership, the
lapsing of hundreds of charters and the re-
tusal of numerous assemblies to pay their
dues have reduced the income of the palace
to one-fifth of what it was two years ago.
and there is prospect of mortgaging the
palace itself to raise the means needed for
pressing current expenses, though but tri-
fling aid has been given to strikers since
the adjournment of the October convention.
The only promising resources for the Board
are the quarterly dues of those assemblies
still loyal, which ought to be transmitted
within the next eight weeks.

stone, the greatest statesman of England,
might induce the British Parliament to
grant home rule.
SENATOR INGALLS, FIERY WORDS.
Senator Ingalls,, after the applause with
which be was greeted had subsidized, said: :
1.-TWO iilustrious Irish members of the
British Parliament have crossed the ocean
to tell the story of the wrongs of Ireland
They are here for the purpose of ascertain
ing the sentiments of the American people
| upon this great question which is now oc-
| cupying the attention of men all over the
| civilized world. We have assembled this
evening for the purpose of saying that the
| cause of Ireiandi is the cause of America and
| the cause of humanity itself. If we are
called upon to choose between expressing
| our sympathies for Great Britain or Ireland
| in this contest, no American citizen
will long hesitate as to whet his
preference shall be. Great Britain
should not forget that seven millions of
people determined to be free can never be
enslaved. Great Britain should not forget
three millions of people in the original
| thirteen colonies reyolted and achieved an
! independence for less provocation than the
| seven millions of Irish people have endured
! for centuries" He did not desire TO intrude
| upon the comfy of any nation, bnt he
| could not forget that brutal and degraded
+; British soldiery within the memory of
men who might now be within the hearing
| of his voice, had sacked this Capital. He
could not forget that in every crisis in
| American history we have to contend with
| the ill-will and malevolence of Great
| Britain. England consorted with the South
and equivocated with the North, and in
dulged in everything short of actual hostil-
ity to secure the downfall of the American
Union. During that awful period there
was not battle for American liberty which
was not illustrated by Irish yalor and con-
secrated by Irish blood.
ocoNNoR SPEAKS.
He then introduced O'Conntr, who was
| received with cheers. He said he was SEN
sible of the greatness and sacredness of the
| cause which he had the honor 10 repre-
| sent. Here in Washington, the headquar-
| tiers OF freedom-the Capital ofthe grandest
| and freest community the world had ever
| seen-no cause which was not Just could
call for such eulogy. Ireland was attempt
ing by force of organized public opinion
by constitutional and peaceful means, to
secure the repeal-not of law-but of a
| conquest. Mr. O'Connor spoke eloquently
| OF the wrongs endured by Ireland during the
| seven hundred years of English rule, since
| that conquest, and proceeded to give pic
ture of the oppression and hardship which
the Irish reople were compelled to bear,
and detailed the demand which the home
rule party made upon the British Govern
ment. They had come here to thank
| America for her past aid, and TO ask for il
until the crisis now impending had passed
| After remarks by Senator Hawley, strong
resolutions of sympathy with Ireland were
| adopted.

The general impression here is that the

middle ground between the extremists on
either side, and urge settlement of the
dispute in manner most advantageous to
both parties in interest.

On his appearance the cheering with which
he was greeted by portion of the crowd
failed to drown his voice. The prelimi-
nary speaking proceeded amid great disor-
der, and number of fights took place, and
many persons were elected from the hall,
but the malcontents were finally subdued.
Balfour said the Radicals, by their
changes at the word from Gladstone, had
sullied the character of their party forever.
They had adopted the methods of their
Irish allies. and the utterances of the fore
most separist leaders showed an increasing
want of moral perception. Gladstone had
been forced, under the threat of lawyers
letters to retract some of the assertions
made by him in his infamous speech at
Nottingham.
